Today, May 2, the Star Trek Into Darkness press tour was in London. London is of course one of the places that you see in the film. Thankfully today there was no sign of the devastation that is seen the in movie.

Two of the cast live in the UK. Namely Simon Pegg and Benedict Cumberbatch.

At the press conference JJ Abrams mentioned he was also keen to appeal to those who aren’t familiar with the film’s characters.”Sequels often do that where they kind of start and assume that you care,” he said. “So we really had to say ‘forget it”. The idea is you can come fresh and still enjoy the film while the fans will get even more out of it.

Here is a round-up of the events in a short video and pictures.
